About Shaab Said
Shaab Said is a boat-access reef stop on the Fury Shoals run, with a shallow coral maze and reef top that opens into a coral garden before the outer sides drop away. It is best as a calm-weather drift dive, and operators usually wait for settled wind and sea state before running the site. The shallow sections can also work for snorkellers when the water is calm.
